Professional Snow and Skateboarding Instructor Brian Owens: 5,000+ board sport
lessons.
In Aug 2019, Nor Cal Board Lessons (NCBL) owner and instructor Brian Owens hit the huge milestone of teaching 5,000 board sports lessons (Snow/Skate/Wake and Surf). Brian has been instructing professionally since opening NCBL in 2003. This season while teaching a beginner skateboarding class in Rancho Cordova, CA his total documented number of boardsport lessons exceeded 5,000. When asked about reaching this milestone, he responded “This is huge for me! I love that I'm able to give back to the sports I love so much”.
Brian stays booked year-round and how he does it quickly becomes apparent if you watch him teach. His demeanor and instructional vocabulary are professional and extremely supportive; his attention to detail and safety seem to make up the perfect recipe for teaching these extreme sports.
NCBL, California's premier boardsports lessons company has built its success on beginner/intermediate skateboarding and snowboarding programs but has expanded to offer adult boot camps, adult longboarding, wakesurfing, and stand up paddleboarding (SUP) lessons.
